Japanese Snacks and Candies

By | What's New at Rustan's, Yummy! | 7 Comments

Heart2Heart goes crazy whenever in Japan! They have the widest assortment of snacks and candies!  I am so happy now, we do not have to go to Japan to enjoy them because they are now here in the Philippines!!!!!  Be assured that the Japanese have very strict controls when it comes to manufacturing which is why the prices may be higher than other Asian countries. Each product has to be tested and has to be approved.   So, not only are they YUMMY but they are SAFE YUMMY especially for kids who love to munch on these things! 

Rustan’s Makati now has the best assortment followed by Rockwell.  They will be coming in little by little and more to come next week!  So keep visiting to find out what’s new.  You should be able to find them in the Japanese or Asian Section, checkout counters or in the snack and candy sections

HI CHEW!!!!!  Nothing is better than the original!  Be careful what GUMMY you are chewing! 🙂 Hi Chew is manufactured now in the States,  China and other Asian countries, but I would still go for the Original Japanese made ones even if they are a bit more expensive!  MIAM MIAM!!

Hi chew also has a variety pack which has three flavors already in it and the famous MILKY candy has a lollipop which is very popular!

Dimsum Cafe, Chinatown, Boston

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

Right beside Shabu Zen ( Shabu Zen, Chinatown, Boston July 30 ) is the little DIMSUM cafe!  We like it because it is dimsum all day not only lunch!  We ate here after Shabu Zen!!  Trying to taste everything in the short time we were in Boston.

Of course we have to eat in Chinatown, whatever part of the world we are in. We crave for rice! 🙂

Our cousins, MJ, Chris and even our nephew, Christian, highly recommended this and made sure we ate here….so we did!

You can request for the pot to be split into two so we had SPICY and regular

We got the Top Grade Black Angus USDA Choice, it looks a lot but those are thinly sliced

YUMMY!  The water was wondering and could not understand that we wanted only BEEF – he wanted us to order vegetables!  🙂

Harvard University

By | Education, Travel | One Comment

One of the highlights of the trip, Harvard University.   We wanted our sons to see the campus.  We want our sons to aim high, whether it be Harvard or some other institution that will give them the best education they can get!

Union Oyster House, Boston

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

About a block away from the Faneuil Hall Market ( Faneuil Hall Market July 28, 2010 ) is the Union Oyster House restaurant.  It is the OLDEST restaurant in Boston! Yes, we were very touristic since we were really tourists in Boston!  🙂  We wanted to try their clam chowder which I read about.  Since I am not an oyster expert, nor a clam chowder expert, we could not really tell if it was the best 🙂  but the clam chowder was good!  We wanted to make sure we got the full Boston experience so we had to have a clam chowder!

img_3001.JPGimg_3135.JPGimg_3136.JPG

They literally had an OYSTER BAR!  It was full!

img_3143.JPGimg_3133.JPGimg_3140.JPG

Was trying to get a shot of the condiments for the oysters

img_3142.JPG

Since we were just having a snack to try the chowder, we skipped the long long lines and we sat in the lunch area 

img_3144.jpg

Their bread is always so good!

Calamari again of course
